“The logistics platform should be delivered during the year 2024. It will replace the existing Carpiquet platform and will allow the group to have access to a larger logistics site, with a total surface area of 76,000 m2.which meets Carrefour’s needs” explains the brand in a press release.
The Carpiquet site has indeed become too small and obsolete for Carrefour, which has bought 30 hectares of land, straddling the towns of Cormelles-le-Royal and Mondeville. The site previously belonged to Stellantis (ex-PSA) which chose a few years ago to part with part of its property assets. In 2017, the land was bought by the Urban Community before being transformed by the Public Land Establishment of Normandy – which had several buildings destroyed – then sold to the Carrefour Supply Chain group, which benefits from an ideally placed land.

600 jobs on site
The site will employ 600 people (transferred for the most part from the Carpiquet site) and will see 460 trucks pass through per day. “This new platform will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 568 tonnes per year compared to the current site. It will comply with RE 2000 environmental standards and will be HQE certified. Its roof will house photovoltaic solar panels that will supply 80 % of the site’s electricity needs (excluding cold)” specifies the Carrefour group which adds that “this new logistics platform will provide the site’s employees with better working conditions through a few technological innovations.”
The logistics platform will open in 2024. In the meantime, motorists who use this road on a daily basis will be able to follow the progress of the work.
